SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PRIVACY-ENABLED BIOMETRIC PROCESSING
A system has been developed to protect biometric data by converting it into encrypted feature vectors using deep neural networks. These encrypted feature vectors can be used for matching and searching without compromising the original biometric data. The encryption allows for secure computations and comparisons without the need for decryption, reducing the risk of security breaches when handling biometric information.

A new system called Big Data 911™ has been created to help emergency responders react faster to vehicle accidents and other emergencies. This system continuously sends GPS and other data to the cloud for analysis, automatically detecting crashes and calling 911 with crucial information like location and severity. By using onboard cameras and medical records linked to the cloud, it ensures that victims receive the best medical care during the critical Golden Hour after the accident, even providing AI assistance for optimal treatment.
Published: 2024-03-07LgRNA-directed CRISPR Gene Editing
Chemically modified guide RNA molecules called LgRNA are created with special linkers to work with CRISPR gene editing technology. These LgRNA molecules can bind to CRISPR-Cas proteins to target specific genes for editing. The invention also includes methods for making these modified RNA molecules for precise gene editing applications.

In a system for receiving voice commands in a moving Internet of Things (IoT) environment with multiple virtual assistants, the method involves detecting a user's intention to speak more by analyzing their breathing pattern. The system selects a different virtual assistant to listen to the user's complete utterance based on the user's movement among the virtual assistants in the IoT environment. By merging the initial and subsequent audio inputs, the system determines a voice command for execution within the IoT environment.
Published: 2024-03-07 Assignee: ShenZhen Rhegen Biotechnology Co., Ltd..SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine and preparation method and use thereof
An mRNA vaccine has been developed for SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19. This vaccine contains genetic instructions to produce a specific part of the virus spike protein, which triggers an immune response. The design of this vaccine allows it to be effective against different variants of the virus.
Published: 2024-03-07AUTOMATED GIF GENERATION PLATFORM
An automated platform has been created to generate GIF files. It works by analyzing elements in an existing animated GIF, making changes to these elements, and creating a new variant GIF. The platform also tracks how popular the new GIF is by counting how many times it is shared, using this data to improve future GIF generation.

A new system and method have been developed to simulate how clothes fit on different body poses. This invention uses particles to represent the physical state of garment vertices, which are connected in a network. By learning how to simulate template garments on various body poses, this system accurately models how different fabrics move on the body without needing modifications, even for loose garments.
Published: 2024-03-07 Assignee: Rosebud Biosciences, Inc..Methods and Compositions for Diagnosing and Treating Rare Genetic DIseases
Rare genetic diseases affect millions of people worldwide, with many diagnosed in childhood. Traditional drug discovery for these diseases has been challenging due to limited access to fetal, neonatal, and pediatric tissues. This invention uses patient-specific hiPSCs and advanced technology like genomic assays and machine learning to identify DNA mutations causing early life diseases.
